Well, yes, but the Black Mamba's shoes aren't for sale. The close-ups were because of: a) Tarantino's foot fetish b) the Fuck U inscribed on the soles.:D
Of course, he tries to do it again, but the article doesn't say if it's the same Target. If it is, what a moron. Go to a different store (if you're so ethically declined).
Hindsight is 20/20. There is no such thing as being 40% arrested, so if one gets away scot free the first time, then one tends to assume that it wasn't noticed at all and that there is no chance of getting caught.
This is why serial killers and the like always get caught in the end. As long as they elude the police, the natural assumption is that the police aren't on the trail at all. Ergo, it's okay to get sloppier and take more risks. Ergo, one gets caught.
Perfection without apparent reward for perfection is inhuman. We require feedback, and neophyte criminals don't really get any (before comparing notes in prison, of course).
Seminal means "highly influential", not "great". Marathon may be a far better game than Doom, but I would doubt any assertion to the effect that it is more influential than Doom.
So, your problem with the story is that it's too geeky? Which part of "News for Nerds" is opaque to you?
Proving things that are suspected to be true is the meat-and-bones of science. After all, they might turn out to not be true. Idle speculation may have been good enough for Aristotle the Things-Will-Stop-Moving-Without-the-Application-of -External-Forces Greek chap, but humanity has learned the lack of wisdom of that approach several times over.
There are degrees of bias, and there is a huge fucking difference between trying to be objective and trying to lie. Perfect objectivity may be strictly impossible due to the limits of human language, but it can be approximated well enough if one tries.

Don't be ridiculous. The Passion is a great idea for a film. It's freaking hilarious.:P
